Do you believe in love at first sight?

 

Thoughts?

 

For the most part no. I believe there is a such thing as lust at first sight before a relationship begins and after. I think one needs that physical attraction to come first before you feel emotionally attached to the person you're pursuing. If there is such a thing as love at first sight. I imagine it could be associated with a parent seeing their newborn for the first time maybe which has nothing to do with a relationship. I think there are different forms of love. But the one associating with someone we're attracted to.....no. I'm sure its easy to develop feelings for a person but I think the part of true love has to develop. My parents told me a long time ago that relationships are like banks. You have to invest time in the person for it to make that into something more. Which I feel is true because when I met my wife. We didn't like each other and didn't get a long at first. We became friends first for the first few months and than we decided it was time to take the next step. I think love was formed in time between us.

I think there is a thing similar, but it all depends on your definition of "Love". I'd personally say "Love at first sight" doesn't exist.

 

There IS certainly ATTRACTION at first sight, and I honestly think the phrase "Love at First sight" is more of an exaggeration of that. Something that someone says to the other person to try and woo or impress them enough to continue the conversation to either start a relationship or at least bed them.

 

As I personally would not tell someone I "Loved" them until probably weeks into a relationship, once you get to know them better,

My sweetheart and me fell in love within an hour and we didn't even see each other.

Attraction or infatuation. Not love.
